Chapter 68: Confidant

The cool evening breeze blew off the leaves on the trees, and the evening light was a little out of control, she sniffed and raised her head to prevent the tears from flowing in her eyes. Clear Sky silently followed behind her, reaching out several times to wipe her tears, but she avoided them all.

The two walked out of the deep alley side by side, the back door of the Wen Mansion was in front of her, she leaned against the courtyard wall tiredly, and said with a crying voice, "In the eyes of the young master, am I not worthy of being trusted?"

Clear Sky tried to explain, but found that this time he was wrong, the woman in front of him was no longer the little girl who needed her protection, she had the people she needed to protect, and had her own mission and perseverance. He took a deep breath and said in a panicked and self-reproachful voice, "I'm sorry, I just cared too much......

"You don't care, it's selfish possession! You said you were doing it for my good, but you didn't ask me, did you think about my feelings? Like you, I have been getting up and walking before dawn since I was a child, and although my kung fu is not as good as that of the young master, it is more than enough to protect myself."

Wanzhao interrupted Qingtian's words anxiously, since the two expressed their hearts to each other in Liangzhou, and after returning to the capital, Qingtian mentioned marriage to her many times, and she began to avoid Qingtian intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't want to marry into the Xiang family too early and make it difficult for the two, and she didn't want to leave Wen Ye.

Recently, she didn't even say a word to Qingtian, for fear that Wen Ye would see the intimacy of the two, she once said to Wen Ye that she would guard her for the rest of her life and not marry, and now the entanglement in her heart is more complicated than ever.

Qingtian stood in place with his eyes down, his Adam's apple rolling, and said with a little humility: "It's all my fault, you can punish me as much as you want, as long as you don't get angry with me, don't ignore me."

Wanzhao frowned, where did he look like a young master of the Xiang family, he was clearly a sad resentful woman, and an inexplicable sense of depression welled up in his heart, which made her anger to the extreme. She slammed the punch right in his chest, blurting out the words that were holding back her heart.

"Xiang Qingtian, I don't deserve you to treat me like this, don't you think it's ridiculous that the young master of the Xiang family is so humble in front of me? In order to please me, you have wronged yourself, and you have even become cautious in speaking, and now you are not you, don't you realize it yourself?"

Qingkong's eyes widened, her words were unbelievable but she had to admit that he had indeed suffered from gains and losses during this time, and he never thought that he would love more and more humblely, and gradually lose himself.

"Xiang Lang, I don't have to marry you in this life, our relatives will wait, okay?"

Wan Zhao shook his arm with a pout, she knew that Qingtian was sincere to her, but now was really not the time to talk about marriage, the problem of the Xiang family clan had not been solved, Wen Ye's face was also disfigured, and one thing after another made her breathless.

"Okay, I'll wait for the rest of my life."

Qingkong hugged her into his arms distressedly, he was anxious during this time, he had to deal with the affairs of the capital quickly, and rush back to Liangzhou as soon as possible to help the head of the family deal with the affairs of the Xiang family, so that he would not have so many worries in his heart.

In the hall of the main courtyard of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, the Kun guard quickly stepped forward to support the shadow guard who almost fell.

"Youzhou killer, Liangzhou spy, it makes sense when you think about it like this, their target has always been the third princess, and His Royal Highness's identity has long been exposed."

Hearing the shadow guard say the same, Bi Xiao panicked instantly, she hurriedly shook her head and denied: "No, Prince Ming has never been out of Cangzhou, how could he have seen the young lady three years ago!"

"How do you know that he is not out of Cangzhou? I don't have the face to see Ye'er, I have failed her last entrustment......

The shadow guard turned away in distraction, looking at the bleak autumn scenery outside the window, and a sadness arose in her heart, her laughter was still in her ears, but the emaciated shadow could no longer be found.

"It seems that the relationship between the Shadow Guard and the Wen family is extraordinary, and Miss Wen's boudoir name can be blurted out. If a wise man doesn't speak secretly, why hide it if he's not an enemy."

Although Mo Yan had a smile on her face, the smile was frighteningly cold, and she would never allow any suspicious people around her.

Seeing Mo Yan's tense posture, Bi Xiao had to explain: "Little Hou Ye misunderstood, the shadow guard is the Wen family's guardian, and he knows better than you and me about what happened three years ago."

Mo Yan frowned, his mind was racing fast, he had been secretly investigating since the civil strife, and the people of the Wen family had already asked him to check it out, the famous Wen

There really is one in the home nursing home, and it is a very important person.

"It turns out that you are Miss Wen's blue-faced confidant, and you are like a shadow."

"It's old and doesn't need to be talked about anymore."

As soon as the shadow guard gave up his hand, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and the corners of his eyes that were already drooping looked completely lifeless.

Mo Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he didn't think about his wife, it was easy to do, losing his beloved was really painful, and he didn't want to experience that feeling again. He is a little sympathetic to Cheng Ruying now, and finding the truth back then should be the only reason for him to live, but he also wants to know about the events of three years ago.

"The old thing is painful, but what if I want to know that?"

"Little Marquis!"

Bi Xiao frowned and said to stop, she didn't expect that Mo Xiaohou really had no mercy for the safety of the young lady, no wonder he was a ruthless existence in the eyes of outsiders.

The shadow guard turned forward, patted Bi Xiao's shoulder and said, "Little Hou Ye doesn't need to be anxious, when the third princess recovers, I will tell you everything."

After the shadow guard finished speaking, he followed Bixiao out of the Hou Mansion, and the Kun guard who stayed behind heard it in a fog, and he couldn't figure out the reason so he had to ask, "Little Hou Ye, could it be that Grandpa Tian was also bought?" Otherwise, whoever gave the Imperial City Division so much power, and even saw Emperor Yan's gold medal, he should have concealed it."

"No, Gonggong Tian completely relies on the Holy Lord, and there is no benefit for him to cooperate with Qin Ying."

Mo Yan shook his head, he had already found out very clearly about the matter of the Imperial City Division, and Gonggong Tian would not have had the courage to do so, otherwise he would not have made such a decision today.

The Kun guards crossed their arms, thinking about other reasons, could it be that Emperor Yan was starting to watch out for them? Although the Imperial City Division is aimed at civil and military officials, in fact, because of the imperial strife, the military generals are extremely vigilant, monitoring and resisting the military generals, and the emperor often suppresses them, so the focus of the Imperial City Division is on the military general group.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for this, then Gonggong Tian must have known the identity of the little marquis, and the saint has always been on guard against military generals, and the saint must be effective in the upper and lower ranks."

"No way, I did this extremely secretively, and there are our people inside and outside the teahouse today."

Suddenly a man's voice came from outside the courtyard, his voice was low and slightly tired, he pushed the door and entered, his back straight, but his head drooped.

"To the young master."

The Kun guard bowed, and the clear sky waved his hand, and he bowed his hand to Mo Yan with a strong fighting spirit.

"Don't worry, little marquis, my eyeliner also said that Grandpa Tian didn't notice your identity, and only thought that little marquis was a big man he couldn't provoke, so he swallowed his anger and didn't dare to say more."

Kun Escort nodded again and again, it is true, the little marquis was domineering and majestic at that time, not angry and self-assured, worthy of being a general.

Mo Yan smiled contemptuously,

"The Imperial City Division is also investigating Qin Haotian's affairs, but he has found nothing for the time being, for fear that someone will rob him."

Qingkong nodded, sure enough, nothing is anything but Mo Xiaohou.

"That's right, only us and Emperor Yan know about the matter of Liangzhou Shilu, and they shouldn't know the reason yet, so Qin Haotian's whereabouts haven't had time to be reported, and our Banshan Pavilion can directly be ordered by the pavilion master to handle any affairs."

The detectives of the Imperial City Division are a must, and their secret investigations are everywhere, everywhere, and everywhere, from the loss of government and government, to the strange affairs of folk customs, from the emperor's relatives to the common people, are the objects of their detectives. Especially the movements of the capital, every move is monitored, and the emperor knows the slightest abnormality.

The Imperial City Division also had the duties of a chahan female cadre and counter-espionage, and sometimes they had not yet arranged secret agents to pretend to be soldiers or guards just in case, and to spy on the generals on the frontier or envoys to neighboring countries. As soon as a suspicious person is found, an arrest is carried out immediately. However, the matter of arrest and interrogation is not what the Imperial City Division is good at, if the incident is confirmed, they still need to ask Emperor Yan, they do not have complete control over the arrest, and the targets of their arrest are roughly: corrupt and bribe-taking officials, slanderers of the government, and thieves.

The interrogation methods of the Imperial City Division are often too aggressive, and sometimes they will cause unjust, false and wrongful cases, so after the trial, it is generally not concluded until the re-interrogation of the imperial historian.

And the Banshan Pavilion not only faces the civil and military officials in the court, the merchants and wealthy gentry, and the martial arts family, but even has the power to act independently and directly arrest officials that the Imperial City Division does not have.

Mo Yan frowned, thinking that her third lady had been running around for Emperor Yan for more than three years, she felt indescribably bitter in her heart, if he had recognized her earlier, maybe she would not have had such a hard time.

Qingtian saw his thoughts, asked the Kun guard to go down to rest first, and poured two cups of tea before approaching and sat down.

"Little Hou Ye don't have to worry, the third princess is very strong, she just showed her softest side to you, they are not ordinary women."

Qingkong took a sip of tea, this sentence was said to Mo Yan on the surface, and at the same time, it was also said to himself.

"Figured it out?"

The corners of Mo Yan's mouth curled and smiled wantonly, and he picked up the teacup and drank slowly. The two of them looked at the night scene outside the door for a long time, they both knew that they were not in love with ordinary little ladies, they were the same as men in the world, they had the same beliefs, they had the ability to protect themselves, and they also had the ability to protect themselves.

"I will return to Liangzhou tomorrow, and only if I deal with Xiangjia in advance, I will be qualified to stand by her side."

Clear Sky has never been so determined, he didn't expect his life to be changed by a woman, he was very tired of his identity as the young master of the Xiang family, but today he wants to try to carry it down, this is the courage and faith that Wanzhao gave him.

Mo Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can go, but I will keep the Kun guard."

Qingkong scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "That, Ming'er is more clever......

"I think Guardian Kun is pretty good."

Mo Yan raised his eyebrows after speaking, he was more sincere, but it was quite easy to use.

Clear Sky is a little embarrassed, Kun Escort is the only one who has not betrayed Xiang Jia, he still needs to have a competent man by his side when he goes out to run errands.

Mo Yan was not reluctant, slightly lost and said with a look of disgust: "Okay, just Ming guard, I'm afraid that he will eat the Hou Mansion poor."

The two looked at each other and smiled, don't go against their hearts, they are close friends, and they have a confidant, which is enough for this life.
